This project uses
eco-friendly fluidised bed combustion technology boilers that result in lower
emissions. The boiler is designed to use both domestic as well as imported
coal. The world-class equipment ensures maximum availability and reliability
for the Essar Steel units in Odisha. With the commissioning of Unit 2, Essar
Steel will be able to further reduce its power bill, and enhance its
competitive edge.
